3. Your right to cancel (change of mind)
If you buy from us online, by phone or by email, you have a legal right to cancel your order within 14 days without giving a reason. You can also cancel any order before it is dispatched for a full refund. For goods, we give you longer: unused, unopened test kits and supplements, and any device, can be returned within 30 days of delivery.
- Goods: the 14 days start the day after you (or someone you nominate) receive the goods. If your order arrives in several deliveries, they start the day after the last item arrives.
- Services: the 14 days start the day after we accept your booking.
To cancel, tell us clearly before the period ends. You can email hello@phenomelongevity.com or use the cancellation form in the Appendix. You do not need to give a reason.
Exceptions
You cannot cancel for change of mind in the following cases:
- Sealed health and hygiene goods once unsealed. This includes test kits (whose collection devices are sealed items) and supplements.
- Activated test kits. Once you register a kit and it is linked to your identity, it is personalised to you and cannot be resold.
- Services fully performed. If you asked us to start a service within the cancellation period and acknowledged that you would lose your right to cancel once it was complete.
- Digital content (for example, your results report or app content) once you have started accessing it with your express consent and acknowledgement.
4. Test kits
Before you open or activate the kit. You may return the kit within 30 days of delivery in its original sealed packaging for a full refund of the kit price and standard delivery.
After you open or activate the kit. We cannot accept change of mind returns, because the kit contains sealed collection devices and is linked to you.
After your sample reaches the laboratory. Laboratory analysis begins when your sample is received and cannot be cancelled after that point.
Sample problems. IIf the laboratory cannot process your sample, for example because there was not enough sample or it was contaminated, we will send you a replacement kit free of charge. If a second sample also cannot be processed, we will contact you to agree next steps, which may include a further kit or a refund.
Results. Refunds are not available because results are unexpected or unwelcome. If you have questions about your results, you can book an optional consultation or genetic counselling session, which may be paid (see our Terms of Sale).
Turnaround times. Laboratory turnaround times are estimates. If your report is delayed significantly beyond the stated estimate, contact us and we will keep you updated.
5. PhenomeTech Ring and Band
Returning a device. These terms apply to both the PhenomeTech Ring and the PhenomeTech Band (each a "device"). You may return any device within 30 days of delivery, for any reason, for a full refund. This is longer than the 14 day cancellation period required by law.
Condition. You may handle and try on the device as you would in a shop. Please return it with all accessories (charger, cable and packaging). We may reduce your refund to reflect any loss in value caused by handling beyond what was necessary to check it, such as scratches, damage or missing parts.
Sizing (Ring only). When you order a Ring, you pay for it at checkout and we first send you a free sizing kit. Once you have confirmed your size, we send your Ring. If the Ring still does not fit, we will exchange it for a different size, subject to stock, at no extra charge within 30 days of delivery. The Band is one size, so size exchanges do not apply to it.
Account and data. Before returning, please unpair the device from the Phenome Longevity app. Returning the device does not automatically delete your data; you can request deletion under our Privacy Policy.
Warranty. Devices are also covered by our 2 year Device Warranty, in addition to your statutory rights.
6. Supplements, consultations and genetic counselling
Unopened products with intact seals may be returned within 30 days of delivery for a full refund. For health and safety reasons, we cannot accept opened products unless they are faulty or not as described.

After that, you can cancel or reschedule with at least 48 hours’ notice for a full refund.If we cannot provide a session as booked, we will offer you a new time or a full refund. If you book a session that takes place within 14 days of booking, we will ask you to confirm that you want it to go ahead during your cancellation period.
